Kathy Shaidle is and always will be my hero. We’ve established that she’s fucking punk rock, that she’s got great taste in just about everything, and she says what you really wish you weren’t too much of a pussy to say. Now, in the wake of the Fort Hood massacre, in response to the revelations that our armed forces brass consider a lack of diversity to be worse than mass murder and that there’s a strong chance that 13 people died as a result of political correctness, Shaidle cuts through the bullshit and lays it out for us.
We were very, very nice to Major Hasan. Major Hasan killed us anyway.
I can’t help thinking, as I watch with that sick, sinking feeling in my stomach, that we’re never, ever going to learn. That we are in full societal decline, believing that “it”–horror, death, mass murder, holy war–cannot happen to us, even as the bloody tide breaks upon our shores. Again. And again. And again.
O brave new world, that has such people in’t.
